Hey Mel!  See if this helps.  I got it from www.jfwlite.com where you'll
find all kinds of helpful hints when using Jaws.

Tips about Acrobat Reader 5.

You will find some PDF files on the web.  To download the PDF to your
hard
drive instead of having it open in your browsser windows, run Acrobat
Reader 5
and press control K for the preferences.
Arrow down to options and then tab until you find display PDF in browser
and
uncheck it.  That way when you enter on a link for a PDF it will give
you a
download dialog and you can save the PDF to your hard drive.  Then just
enter on the filename and it will open locally in Adobe Reader.

You have to use control page up and control page down to go from one
page to the prior page or the next page.  Or you can set it to deliver
more
than one page at a time.
1. Press CTRL-K
2. Type an 'A' for Accessibility
3. Press ALT-D to uncheck the checkbox labeled, "Deliver data in pages
when document exceeds"

Some PDF files with columns do not read correctly.  You can give this is
a try,
it seems to help with some PDF files with columns but not others.
Go into the Document Menu, arrow up to select reading order,
and choose left to right, top to bottom without interactive form fields.
That should disable the column recognition and reading.
In adobe reader 6, if you go into the preferences with control K, you
will
find left to right, top ot bottom in the reading options.  You will have
a
combo box for reading order.

Some authors of PDF files have protected them and se the security so you
are not
able to access the PDF with a screen reader.  There is a program that
might help.
The program is Advanced PDF Password Recovery (APDFPR).  A demo that's
limited to files of less than 64K and that doesn't have the command line
interface enabled; as well as purchase information; is available at:

http://www.elcomsoft.com/apdfpr.html

To use it with Jaws, you should run the Auto Graphics Labeler the first
time
because the menus aren't otherwise accessible.

I've got Adobe Reader 6.0 and need to know how to get web pages in .pdf
format to open up in Adobe Reader instead of IE.  Any help?
